Routpainted - 1078 Early Spring by Brown Moses

Map Description:

Routpainted Year Three - I've dug out all the interior of the Main Pod. I then realised I had no burial area so I built a mini pod for all the burials off the side of one of the connecting arms. I'll be able to balance the whole thing on one support and demolish it all at one.

Point of Interest: Main Pod

This is the Main Pod, built to house industry in the top floor and bedrooms and apartments in the lower areas. There's a few connecting arms to the other pods, so there's currently alot of dug out areas between the pods. You have to be careful with arms because if they are dug out and you have a cave in above it then you can puncture the top and bottom and leave you dwarfs stranded. You especially don't want to do this if you have water all around the arm. - Brown Moses

Very interesting pod design, looks great from the side, got a load of stone to clear out though - found it hard to follow the positions of the stairs between levels.

Yeah, the stairs were a bit all over the place, mainly because of the positioning of the trade depot. I'm going to build a second pod because one pod can only really realistically hold about 30 dwarfs. I might also make the second pod much larger, and have the middle level at ground level, and build constructions on top to complete a pyramid.

I can't help but be reminded of the Forward Observation Pods from the game Aliens versus Predator 2. Not that being suspended a few hundred meters aboveground in an isolated gorge helped them. Turned out that the supports the Pods were hanging from could be used by xenomorphs as an infiltration route. Needles to say, but the Pods were overrun within the hour.

Do you only see a blank space?
